Emily Mills married James Kearns
« on: Sunday 15 February 15 12:02 GMT (UK) »
Emily Mills from Playden Rye (?) In Sussex married James Kearns, an Irish soldier in Portsmouth Cathedral in 1894. They lived for a while in Ireland but moved to Iden in 1909. Sadly he died within 3 months of moving there aged just 36.  Are there any descendants of the Mills family still living there? James was awarded two medals for service in the Boer War.
